Welcome to extremenomads.life – a blog for boardriders, outdoor adventurers, travel lovers and mad monkeys with a thing for good vibes.
We cover all things extreme sports and travel; as well as more traditional activities like hiking, diving, or cycling. You can explore our content either by destination in our travel category, or by activity in our sports category.
We specialize in destination guides covering specific activities in interesting regions, for example these guides to the best wake parks in Asia, the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka, or the best hikes in Ireland, but we also zero in on all the outdoor activities available in a specific spot, like our monster guides to Hua Hin in Thailand, Phan Rang in Vietnam, or Siargao in Philippines. Never done a particular sport before? We’ve recently started to publish more general pieces like this complete guide to learning wakeboarding at a cable park.
To reach a specific country or sport directly, use our top menu by hovering over (desktop), or clicking on (mobile) each section.
Finally, we also love reviewing and testing products / services in both sports and tech that we think our readers will be stoked with, and you’ll find this content in the reviews category. Our most popular articles there so far are this massive guide of the best wakeboards with bindings, what we think are the best watersports sunglasses on the market, the most suited waterproof smartwatches for watersports, or this huge overview of the best surf camps in Bali.
We hope you enjoy our content; and if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, we are active in various degrees on Facebook, Youtube, or Instagram, but if you’re more old school, you can also subscribe to our e-mail newsletter by filling in the form at the bottom of this page.
